CheatCC writes: "Bomberman Land marks the series' debut on the PSP. This game mixes classic Bomberman battles with a story mode that's full of unlockables. The deep customization and multiplayer fun of the Battle Game is impressive. On the other hand, the Story mode is quite dull and just a gimmick to add content. Mini-games can be unlocked through story advancement, but they're only mildly entertaining. Fortunately, the frantic battles are great, and it makes this title worthwhile. It's nice that Hudson wants to add depth to the series through a story, but the longevity of this franchise is solely attributable to classic Bomberman battles, and Bomberman Land for the PSP is no exception."
"With the plethora of mini-game collections on the Wii, I do look forward to experiencing collections that really stand out from the pack. Is Bomberman Land Wii one such game? Not in a million years. Although it's developed by the proclaimed mini-game experts at Hudson Soft, I wouldn't suggest you purchase this game unless you're young in years." -- Wiiloveit.com
All you really need to know about Bomberman Land on the Wii is that it's great fun in multiplayer and not worth playing alone. Its simple gameplay fits perfectly in the Wii's targeted audience of casual and novice gamers, and experienced players can rarely refuse a game if offered. With a much cheaper, multiplayer Bomberman available on the Virtual Console, though, it's hard to recommend Bomberman Land.
